Taking a Leap of Faith to Follow Your Dreams

In this candid chat, Rose Burnett Founder of Mind Body Soul Balance Program discusses how to take on challenges and big goals. The leap of faith required to get over the fear and key mindset strategies to achieve your vision.

How to Take on Big Challenges

Often during a period of transformation one of the scariest and most liberating things you can do is to follow your hopes and dreams. It takes a massive leap of faith and often the biggest naysayers can be the people closest to you.

When you aim to do things that create change on a massive level, the people around you can project their own fears and doubts on to you. They do this because what you are trying to do is outside of their own comfort level or because they care about you and want the best for you.

The pressure this can create, often leads people to simply give up.

The advice is to put a massive buffer in place to protect yourself and don’t allow other people’s opinions to stop you pursuing your goals.

How to Deal with Fear

We also have to deal with our own fear based thoughts, like worrying about not having enough money or a fear of failure.

Rose shares:

There is no safety net, feel the fear in the pit of your belly and push through it. You need to believe in your dreams 100% to get yourself over the line.

In the video, Burnett talks about being ‘unconventional’ and how society expects us to conform and not ‘colour outside the lines’.

How being more creative and innovative, and following your dreams allows you to be in control of your own destiny. Citing examples from her own entrepreneurial journey.

When you extend yourself outside of your comfort zone, there is no safety net and there will always be a level of fear. In those times, just focus on what is your ‘next step’.

Build on your small wins, learn from your mistakes and the things that didn’t go quite so well. And don’t be afraid of your own success.

Trust your inner knowing and intuition to be in flow…to live more joyfully.

Rose discusses the difference between living responsibly and conforming to societal pressure versus being ‘unconventional’ and following your dreams to tap into your flow.
